Celebrating 20 spellbinding years on the West End stage, this magical live version of Raymond Briggs' much-loved children's classic has established itself as a festive family favourite that continues to delight audiences of all ages.

When a Snowman comes to life, he and a boy embark on a wintery wonderland adventure to the North Pole, where they dance with penguins, fly through a starlit sky, meet Father Christmas and escape the clutches of Jack Frost.

Twinkling with festive spirit, this wonderful mix of exquisite dancing, storytelling, enchanting sets, a flying Snowman and live music – including the beautiful Walking in the Air – is the perfect Christmas treat for all the family.
